   The administrative account must have JSON API set to a minimum of Read to enable API communication between the products.

3. On FortiManager, add FortiGate for management, and import policy packages. See Adding FortiGate to FortiManager.
4. On FortiManager, enable Policy Analyzer MEA. See Enabling Policy Analyzer MEA.

   Policy Analyzer MEA is downloaded from Fortinet Registry and installed on FortiManager.

6. Use the Policy Analyzer wizard to analyze FortiGate traffic logs, and choose a mode for handling the traffic. See Policy Analyzer modes.

   Policy Analyzer MEA automatically generates a policy block, inserts the policy block into the policy, and initiates installation of the updated policy package to FortiGate.
